Any idea of how the direct phone to phone transfer differs from iTunes encrypted backup? Any difference in terms of set up?
None whatsoever that I can see, if you use iCloud Keychain.

Paired my watch seamlessly, apart from needing to input CVVs to re-verify cards for Apple Pay it’s been like being on exactly the same phone.

It’s pure voodoo.

I found out new feature on phone to phone transfer. Previously impressed with all Home Screen setup format and watch setup retroactively are copied over etc.

Today, found out it even copy over the background apps running.

It is quite mind blowing for me.
 
Glad it's not just me. Fingers crossed they start to just show up. 🤞🏻
Mine was the same when I temporarily moved to the SE, after restarting the phone they all appeared. I’ve just transferred to the Pro Max - they’re not showing yet so if it’s still the same in the morning I’ll restart

Any regrets? I’m pretty happy with the grey Pro Max, moved from an XS Max so not a lot of difference screen wise, I have had a little play with the camera and happy there is enough there to justify the upgrade as well as other little tweaks. I have returned my Apple case, it just didn’t do it for me, i see the small access hole to the mute button getting scratched and I don’t like the front edge seal I would like a little more of a lip, the edges of the case look vulnerable to damage. I have a silicon one on and have ordered a third party leather one.

I’m happy with the colour it almost matches my iPad Pro, my XS Max is gold but because it has been in a case for 2yrs I had to take it out to check, so colour isn’t a concern for me once in a case.

I wish everyone well, I have seen some great excitement on here, a bit like an early Christmas! if your not 100% happy change it while you can or you will only regret it! All the best and Happy Christmas to all,

Coming from an XS Max myself I’m a lot happier with this than if I had upgraded last year to the 11. The wide angle camera, night mode and 5G have really made this upgrade worth it for me. It’s a little hard to get excited about phone design anymore but I much prefer this flat design over the last few phones. My favourite iPhone design of all time was the iPhone 4 so I like that they’ve moved back in that direction.
 
My pro max was dispatched today through Very :D.

Should get it on Monday at least.

I had a shot of the pro max and the pro in John Lewis here in Edinburgh tonight and i would say there's no much of a difference.

Went to the Apple store to get a case but had to make a reservation to get one.

Thinking about buying the MagSafe Charger. Is it worth the price?

Fit the ESR. You won’t regret it. You won’t even realise you have a protector on.
What ESR are you recommending? For first time ever I had the Belkin screen protector applied in store to my 11 Pro last year. Aside from one eBay cheapie it was first time I’d gone with a screen protector and decided to do so after getting a scratch early on with the X. However the store Belkin cracked so was replaced. For 2nd replacement (ie 3rd screen protector) they gave me was the one you apply yourself and that cracked. I didn’t even bother applying the 4th as figured it would also crack within a few weeks. Ultimately I think one of these protector cracking actually caused a small nick of the edge of my 11 Pro screen.
 
I’m having the same issue 😕

At some point overnight they almost all showed up. The only ones I'm still missing are the limited edition ones.
 
Amazon order still not dispatched. I really expected an update overnight.
Status still says “arriving today by 8pm” but I am super doubtful

Same for me except mine says “arriving today by 10pm” think I might do a live chat and see what they say.
 
Deleting and reinstalling the app worked for me.
After doing this several times same result. The message at the end of trying each time is:-

You can’t register for this app. Sorry there is a problem you can’t register for the app on this device. Please call us for help. Error code RG06H.

So a few observations.

Needs to be updated for the new phone. No. I even installed the app on my works iPhone SE tried to register as new, same error (so not the phone being new and the app being outdated)

The error code isn’t recognised on the Barclaycard website.

I genuinely now believe it is my actual credit card at fault. The app doesn’t like the number for some reason. I did try to call them but after 27 minutes of listening to how important my call is, someone answered, it clicked 2 times then they cut me off. You can imagine how pi$$ed off I was by this point.

So I’ve made a decision, I can’t use the app, they cut me off when I tried to ring so they can shove their card where then sun doesn’t shine. I’m sure when I ring the cancellation number later I won’t be on hold for 27 minutes. I know they won’t care I’m a small fish in their massive sea of spending whales but that’s just typical customer service lately.

Coming from a xs Max too, I wouldn’t say any regrets however massively missing 3D touch, doing it on the space bar just doesn’t cut it for me unfortunately. The only reason I upgraded was due to the back glass smashing despite living in a silicone case it’s whole life. Pleased with the new phone and love the shape and PB just wish they kept the 3D Touch.
 
I actually last minute had mine pushed forward to release day so have had it now for a good 14 hours - hopefully yours gets pushed forward too. Also absolutely love it in every way
Awesome that’s great news for you. Keeping my fingers crossed end enjoy the new phone. I can’t wait ...

Seeing all these pictures of the leather cases makes me seriously wanna pick one up. They look amazing! Anybody recommend a good contrasting colour to go with the graphite phone?
Baltic Blue.

I have it on my Graphite Pro. I would upload pics but I don’t have another phone handy.
 
Thought I would test EE 5G speeds yesterday and have to say I'm impressed.

Now just need them too hurry up and get it to my home as its available just down the road on the next mast over!

Finally - after yesterday’s delay - DPD due to deliver today 8:45-9:45 :D - new BT Mobile SIM ready to register and check if 5G is available on my existing contract in the SW area.
 
Anyone? They are as useful as a chocolate teapot online and have been on hold 28 minutes, if anyone knows the secret to getting back in to the app please share - it gives an error code that isn't even recognised on Barclaycards website!!
I have Barclaycard. And when I got my new phone, I just re-registered on the app, no issues at all.

Assuming you have tried the basic of deleting and reinstalling?
